MN State Fair 2015

Today was Fair Day. We arrived around 8am. Kate had to leave at noon; the rest of us stayed until the Gaelic Storm show finished at 10:30pm. We ate a lot! Here’s the ol’ list, in order of consumption. We didn’t get two footlongs like we normally do, but we tried a lot of new things so I think it’s a fair trade.

mini cinnamon rolls with milk

mini donuts

footlong hot dog

apple dumpling with ice cream

samples of Peace coffee

3 types of jerky: cheddar, maple, & BBQ

corn fritz

snicker salad

chilled bread pudding

giant turkey sandwich

all-you-can-drink milk, both white & chocolate

chicken samosas

frozen cider

3 beer flights: darker, belgian, & brewpub (Kate left after flights)

fried green tomatoes

raspberry mocha frappe

ribbon fries with cheese & sour cream

strawberry lemonade

deep fried candy bar

samples of cinnamon butter

lobster rolls with chips & iced tea

ice cream from the dairy building (this is when we stop for a while to rest/nap)

cream puffs

sweet corn

1919 root beer

s’mores beer

maple bacon beer

leinie’s harvest patch shandy

cheese curds

I had my iPod with, running its built-in pedometer. I started it after we finished our cinnamon rolls, and stopped it at about 6:30 when we sat down to claim seats for the concert. In that time, we walked 18,750 steps. Success! Photos can be found on Instagram.
